On the other hand, support fittings 11, 12, and 13 are provided which are tightened via screw members 10, respectively.
That is, the support metal fitting 11 corresponding to the mounting seat 9a at the upper center part is welded and fixed at the upper part of the rear surface of the front basket 4, spanning between the plurality of vertical rails 8, and is fixed at the center part in the left and right direction. A through hole 14 is provided in which the screw member 10 is inserted. The remaining supporting metal fittings 12 and 13 are attached to the front basket 4 so as to be movable to arbitrary positions in the vertical and horizontal directions. In other words, as shown in FIG. 4, these movable-side support fittings 12 and 13 have a front and rear two-piece structure in which a front metal fitting part 15 and a rear metal fitting part 16 made of sheet metal are abutted against each other. At both left and right ends of the metal fitting part 15, locking parts 17 are formed which are bent so as to wrap around the outer peripheries of the vertical rod parts 8 that are adjacent to each other. This locking part 17 sandwiches the adjacent vertical rams 8 from the front and back between the left and right ends of the rear metal fitting 16, and the intermediate part located between the vertical rams 8 of these two metal fittings 15 and 16. The portion is bent into a substantially U-shape so as to protrude rearward from the front basket 4. Due to this bending, the support fittings 12 and 13 have a recess 1 into which the head 10a of the screw member 10 enters between the vertical rod portions 8.
8 is formed, and the tip surface of this recess 18 forms a flat surface, and there is a long hole 19 along the left-right direction.
has been established. The screw member 10 is inserted into the long hole 19 and the through hole 14 from the front. The insertion tip of the screw member 10 is screwed into the mounting seats 9a, 9b, and 9c of the front cover 3 via the collar 20 and the spacer 21, and by this screwing, a vertical rod is formed between the front metal fitting part 15 and the rear metal fitting part 16. The part 8 is held between the support fittings 12 and 13.
positioning is performed.

In such a configuration, when attaching the front basket 4 to the front cover 3, first align the support metal fitting 11 fixed to the front basket 4 with the mounting seat 9a at the upper center of the front cover 3, By tightening the screw members 10, the front basket 4 is temporarily fixed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the front metal part 15 and the rear metal part 16 are moved vertically and horizontally of the front basket 4 according to the positions of the remaining mounting seats 9b and 9c, and the long holes 19 and the mounting seats are aligned. 9b,9
